Event Details

/// OVERVIEW

/// VENUE

The 99U Pop-Up School will take place 82MERCER (82 Mercer St, New York, NY), a gorgeous loft space in the heart of SoHo, New York City. A former manufacturing facility, 82Mercer still retains some of its original 19th century details, including cast iron columns, 14-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and brick archways. Loft-style windows provide plenty of natural light and views of Broadway and Mercer Street. The space is accessible via most subway lines. You can view more photos of the space here.

/// SCHEDULE

Doors will open at 82Mercer at 11:30am each day and the program runs until 6:30pm. Each day will offer a mix of keynotes and master classes in the Lecture Hall, and a variety of skill-building booths, interactive sessions, and demos on the Playground.
